Next part as I promised! I have no idea how I was able to make it to almost 2000 words but I did! I am sure some of you have realised this by now, I have a lot of ideas but I fail to put them into words. I hope you like this crappy part
All mistakes are mine and would like if you pointed them out to me!
Thank you for reading! ️
"Melissa! Hi." The voice over her phone said.
"Hi. I am sorry but there's no time for small talk. I wanted to know whether you can come here. Scott needs you. He's hurt and isn't healing without his pack there. He is dying, please he need you here. I need you here." I said in one breath.
"Here? As in Beacon Hills? Why is it so important for me to come? Aren't the others there?"
"Yes, to Beacon Hills. No, the pack is in pieces and Scott won't heal if he believes the pack is back only because he was dying. You are one of the only few people who weren't in this mess and are pack. Please, you have to come here. Scott's barely got 2 days before he dies." Melissa started sobbing by the end of it. The boy swore over the phone and said, "I'll be there as soon as I can." He sounded worried and scared; of course, Scott means so much to him too.
"Thank you." The nurse said and ended the call.
Time skip to 20 hours later
Melissa sat beside her son at the animal clinic waiting for any signs from him. He has been unconscious for the last 20 hours and she couldn't do anything. All she could hope for was that help arrived soon. Deaton had been there with her for most of the time but had left a few hours later. She hadn't left her son's side ever since she had called for help. How could she? Right now, she was all he had to hang on to. She couldn't leave her son and later find out he died without her being there.
The nurse was broken from her thoughts when she heard the door click. She got up so fast that she almost had a concussion. She knew Deaton wouldn't be back for a few more hours. It had to be help. Isaac had arrived to help her son and his friend, but he wasn't alone. Behind the blond haired teen stood someone she hadn't expected. Derek Hale.
Her confusion must have shown in her face since Isaac answered her, "I thought it would help with someone else too." She nodded. After a few minutes of silence, she led them to where Scott was still unconcious.
Melissa felt Isaac tense when he saw his alpha unconcious like that. Derek looked worried too. For a minute, they just stared but then they both held one hand each of her son and took away some of his pain. Isaac was whispering to him how he needed Scott and that he was sorry he left him to deal with everything alone. He had tears in his eyes.
She stood there in silence, watching the two help her son. She let out a sigh; it did seem to help.
"What happened here?" Derek asked the question she knew they were waiting to ask since they came here.
"Sit, I'll explain everything." And explain she did. She told them about her son's old friend, Theo, who came back that year. How he became friends with everyone. How everyone trusted him except Stiles. And lastly, how that bastard ruined everyone's lives. Scott's, Stiles', Lydia's, Malia's, and Liam's. She told them everything. How Stiles was angry at Scott for trusting Theo and blamed Scott for what happened to his dad. She told them that Malia isn't talking to him for some unknown reason and that Lydia was in Eichen. It took her half an hour to finish her story and another 15 minutes for them to digest everything. They took a lot of time considering she only gave them a limited version story, but they didn't know some of the members of the pack so she had to tell them about it too.
"There is literally no one of the pack with him right now?" Derek asked slowly and I shook my head, sadly. "Okay." He continued, "I need to talk to some of them and make their small heads understand things that are apparently too difficult for them to understand."
"I am not telling them about this unless necessary. I am just going to make them understand a few things." The Beta added seeing my hesitant look.
"I'll stay here with Scott." Isaac said and the two nodded and each other. Derek left after sending me a somewhat reassuring look. He didn't show much but he cared about them, especially Scott.
Derek goes to find Liam
Liam was sitting in the backyard of his house thinking about how his life had changed evry since he transferred to BHHS. At first, he had hated it but had later settled into it. He had been happy to have his pack with him. They were like a family to him. Even if someone gave him a chance to reverse his bite, he wouldn't. He wouldn't choose it if it meant he'd never meet his pack. He would never leave anyone - Stiles, Lydia, Mason, Kira, and most of all, Scott. His alpha, the one who bit him and then helped him through his transformations. He owed the true alpha so much and yet, here he was, sitting in his home after having fought his alpha intending to kill him just a few days back. But, he was still mad at him. He was the reason Hayden was dead. He could have bitten her but he didn't. 'You don't know if the bite would have worked.' his wolf said back. His wolf felt guilty for what he did to his alpha but he pushed that part under. Liam just sat there staring into no where with thoughts like these in him mind.
Suddenly, he caught a strange smell. It was familiar and even that of pack, but Liam couldn't place it. It was someone he knew but he can't concentrate enough to know who. The Beta heard a rustle in the shrubs and was immediately on guard. It was very dark and hence he couldn't see anything or anyone there. After a few minutes, a figure came out of it. A man. Before Liam could attack, he came out of the shadows to reveal himself. It was Derek Hale.
Liam had met Derek Hale only once, when Scott had asked his help to train Liam, and the meeting wasn't a pleasant one. But, Derek was pack and he trusted him enough to know he wouldn't harm him. Wasn't he away? What was he doing in Beacon Hills? There were a lot of questions in his mind right now.
"Melissa called me after what happened here." The older wolf answered the unasked question. "She told me everything and I am here to make you understand how stupid you are. And how idiotic your behaviour was."
Derek was exactly like Liam had remembered. Rude and always frowning. It infuriated Liam. How dare he say Liam was stupid? If he knew everything like he claimed, he'd have known it wasn't Liam's fault. He voices his thoughts. " If you knew what happened then you would have known I am not at fault here. Scott promised to help in any way he can but then refused to bite her. She's dead because he was too stubborn to bite her. He wouldn't break his code of moral because he was selfish. It's Scott's fault that Hayden's dead now." (He doesn't know of the ressurection as of now.)
"You're blaming Scott for this? Your alpha, your friend, Scott?" Derek's volume had risen a decibel. "I don't know how you can even think that about Scott. He's the kindest and most selfless person I know. Also, he's your Alpha. I have been a werewolf since I was born and lived with a werewolf family to know that disobeying your Alpha or talking bad about him is very painful for your wolf. Especially with the bond the two of you share. You're his first bitten beta for god's sake! He would do anything for you and you go there and try to kill him for a girl!?" I went to argue but he cut me off, spekaing in an even higher volume than before.
"Not having your girl's consent was only a part of him refusing to bite her. He didn't bite her for you. Do you understand that?"
"How did he do that for me!?" I yelled back, not being able to hold it longer.
The older beta stood there for a few seconds, taking deep breaths. Eventually, he calmed down a little and said, "Sit. It's long story and one you need to sit down for." Liam stared at him confused but obeyed.
Time skip to after they finish the story
Liam couldn't believe what he'd just heard. Derek told him about the first girl he loved, Paige, and how he had wanted to be with her forever. How an alpha wolf had bitten her and how her body had reacted to the bite. He also told Liam about how he had to be the one to kill her to stop her pain and misery. Liam had wondered why Derek's eyes were blue but had never for a moment thought of something like this. He had thought it was some hunter.
After hearing the older Beta's story, Liam could see how stupid he'd been. Of course Scott had thought of him. He wouldn't have wanted his Beta to have to kill someone he loved. Yes, there was a high chance the bite worked since Hayden was already a Chimera but after knowing the consequences of the body rejecting the bite, Liam was glad Scott hadn't bitten Hayden.
Acknowledging it, the wolf inside screamed. Liam was a bad beta. He had thought his Alpha was selfish when he was the most selfless person he knew. He'd attacked his Alpha. He'd fought him. Worse, he'd fought him with the intention to kill him. Yes, some of it was the Super Moon and some of it was Theo but Liam knew he was the one to blame. He felt so guilty knowing he was the one to put his Alpha through pain. The pain of having to fight his own Beta.
Liam had successfully forced his wolf down the past few days but now he couldn't do it. Because, his wolf was right. He'd fought his Alpha. He'd fought his friend, someone who was always there for him. Helped him all the time. Saved his life, numerous times. And what did he do in return, he tried to kill Scott. What made it worse was, Scott didn't fight back. He only defended himself. If Scott had wanted, he could have easily defeated Liam. After all, Scott was an Alpha and a True Alpha at that. But, he did not hurt Liam in any way. And that doubled his already high levels of guilt.
He had to apologise to him. However, what if Scott didn't forgve him? He had full right to be mad at him. He felt his stomach sink at that thought. But, he took a deep breath and thought 'I will try. I will not stop until he forgives me. I'll be ready to do anything he wants. In return, all I want is his forgiveness.'
Derek had sat quietly the whole time Laim was thinking, feeling guilty. And when Liam finally looked up at him, he seemed to understand what he was going to say. He nodded, got up and said, "Come on. Scott needs your help, as fast as possible."
"What do you mean?" Liam asked, confused. Why would Scott need his help so much right now.
"Sit in my car and I'll tell you while we drive to find Malia." And this confused Liam even more. Why would they have to find Malia? But he knew he wasn't getting any answers right now so shut up and say inaide the car.
